Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell joins other government, philanthropic and nonprofit, and business leaders to unveil Partnership for Zero, a new collaboration to dramatically reduce unsheltered homelessness in Downtown Seattle.
Partnership for Zero, a new public-private collaboration, aims to create a united approach to dramatically reduce unsheltered homelessness, starting in Downtown Seattle and a set of regional communities to be named soon. Building on the efforts that led to the creation of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA), the City of Seattle, King County, and We Are In -- an advocacy coalition of philanthropies, businesses, service providers, advocates, and both housed and unhoused King County residents -- are coming together to launch this unique partnership in support of KCRHA's plan, beginning with more than $10 million of private contributions in the first year.
Speakers and attendees include:
Felicia Salcedo, We Are In
Marc Dones, King County Regional Homelessness Authority
Mayor Bruce Harrell, City of Seattle
Dr. LaMont Green, Lived Experience Coalition
Michelle Seitz, Russell Investments
Executive Dow Constantine, King County
Andi Smith, Ballmer Group
